Comparison
Knowing exactly where every bottle sleeps - and an AI that advises on the collection you have.
InVintory organises a serious wine collection better than a spreadsheet ever could. Its VinLocate feature builds a realistic 3D model of your cellar or fridge so you can see exactly where every bottle is; imports from CellarTracker, Vivino or a spreadsheet make switching painless; and a built-in AI sommelier answers questions about your collection - pairings, serving advice, recommendations based on what you own. Its site counts 370,000 collectors tracking 17 million bottles.
The difference is when each app meets you. InVintory's AI sommelier is built around your collection. WineGuide is for every bottle before that decision - the one on the shelf, on the list, in a friend's hand. Photograph or type any label for a Quick Look and a seven-chapter, source-cited story, compare four alternatives with live prices across 25 countries, and ask follow-up questions: how it tastes, what to serve it with, whether the price is fair. It is made for the shopping trip, the restaurant and the gift hunt - the moments when a few good answers change what you bring home. InVintory manages the collection you have. WineGuide helps you choose what goes into it.
